Vegetable Quiche Casserole

I realize this is a very confusing name for a dish. It’s not quite a quiche but it feels and tastes like it. It’s undefined, somewhere in between. I’ll let you decide on the name you want to give it. It’s a little more caloric than I would normally eat, so we eat this on our freshly reinstated meatless Monday. Kinda like junk-food Friday only without meat. The potatoes, vegetables,…

    Perfect Roasted Potatoes

    And the last one in the series: “Old Guest Postings Resuscitated“, here’s the guest posting I did a few years back for these delicious roasted potatoes. This is a really solid recipe, tried and true, shouldn’t get lost in internet lalaland so I’m posting it to my blog as well. My family has made these roasted potatoes like this for years, today I just switch up the herbs or add…

      Potato and Caramelized Onion Puree

      Being the onion lover that I am, it dawned on me that I had never made mashed potatoes with caramelized onions. No idea why. It seemed like the perfect accompaniment to the Shallot and Apple Stuffed Bacon Chicken that I slow-cooked on the BGE. I could almost imagine the characteristic taste the sweet caramelized onions would add to the fluffy mashed potatoes, and the fantastic scent that would arise would…

        Grilled Honey, Lemon and Rosemary Potatoes

        Those Christmas recipes are popping up like daisies. Don’t you just love it? It’s my favorite thing to cook up and photograph because it’s all such pretty and unique food. A few months ago I ran into a recipe for grilled potato slices in a women’s magazine. Made a mental note and then shoved it to the back of my brain. Where it emerged from the dark dungeons of my…

          Potatoes Aurore

          There are people who dislike mashed potatoes. No really, there are! There are probably even yahoo groups for them and they’re taking over the world, one boiled potato at a time.  How do I know this?  Well, I learned it the hard way: after slaving over a hot stove during the Holidays only to find out that one of my dinner guests was one of them haters. Stupid enough it never occurred…

            Bombay Breakfast Potatoes

            This is a Jamie Oliver recipe. Well, at least it was until I got my hands on it. Mea culpa. Glanced over the recipe and simply had to cook it up. Okay, so I admit I forgot all about it until I cleaned out my recipe database last week and ran into it again. Put it on my to-do list, tweaked the heck out of it and cooked them up…
